Yeah. I think they made sure all of the main characters Names were in the book. Not exaclty the personality.

I like how They made Bess a..(what do you call it..) A person who fixes stuff... And I miss the old George though. Like eating was Bess's thing! lol.

I am reading this one right now. I was trying to convince my sister that ND was cool! But when she asked what was happing so far. When I told her someone vadilized Zucinni (spelling) well lets just say she doesent exaclty like ND.

But I like the book anyway!

Well, maybe you should make her read Getting Burned, it's very strange, and maybe that'll get her into ND.

I'm going to start getting my sis into ND, too, and I'm talking about the books, not the games, because she's already into the games.

Bess is like an amateur technician in these books. I like that. And George is a computer whiz (like me!) which I also like.

It's just sad that a relationship has been broken. : (

I did not like this book very well I mean a Zucchini Squasher COME ON!!!!!! What kind of mystery is that. The series does get better as it goes on. I do not like the way Nancy is treated by Cheif Mcginnis though in the older books valued nancy's advice.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! A mystery about a Zucchini Squasher! HOW THRILLING!!!

(yawns... dang now i am hungry)

Hey Zucchini Squasher... squash! haha lol sorry just thought it was funny....

anyway yeah i agree it does get better but that was one desperate author.

I haven't read this book,wish I had!

It gets alot better. and i mean alot but its not 1 of her best. also i know how you people feel trying to get your sisters to read ND. even though im an only child its hard enough trying to convince my friend nancy drew is cool. while my other friend says im gonna poisen (spelling) her because i read so many nacy drew books in so little time that im figuring out a way to poisen her or els read the books

This book was too easy, I knew who squished the zuchini the moment that waitress said that kids came into her resteraunt saying that it tasted like snot.

yeah it took me a long time to read it all. because for a while it was boring.

I finished it in three hours.

(stand up and claps) wow! Your a fast reader!

But I finished it in 30 minutes! I was soooooo engrossed in it.
